PHP Meetup: December 2017

This month we have some special guests. Philipp Krenn and David Pilato from https://Elastic.co

Philipp will be doing a 40 minute talk on: Elasticsearch (R)Evolution — You Know, for Search...

Elasticsearch is a distributed, RESTful search and analytics engine built on top of Apache Lucene. After the initial release in 2010 it has become the most widely used full-text search engine, but it is not stopping there.

The revolution happened and now it is time for evolution. We dive into the following questions:

• How did leniency help the initial adoption, but why and how do we lean more on strictness today?
• How do shard allocations, which were hard to debug even for us, work and how can you can find out what is going wrong in your cluster?
• How can you search efficiently across clusters and why did it take two implementations to get this right?
• How can upgrades be improved so that fewer applications are stuck on old or even ancient versions?
• How can new resiliency features improve recovery scenarios and add totally new features?
• Why are types finally disappearing and how are we are trying to avoid the upgrade pain as much as possible?
• What are examples for some clever performance improvements?

Attendees learn both about new and upcoming features as well as the motivation and engineering challenges behind them.
